looks like a problem with your CHOST , but that one looks fine in your emerge info. I cleaned up the r3 ebuild a bit, could you rsync and try that one again ?
I moved from sed 4.x to supersed, because sed 4.x caused so many troubles to me. With supersed everything builds fine. I have tried several sed 4.x versions and none worked for me. libghttp builds fine with supersed.
does your gnumeric bug (#17262) also get fixed by your usage of supersed ?
yes
